The sneaker community has been blessed with hundreds of New Balance 550s over the past three years, but just when you thought you had seen them all, the Boston-based sportswear company goes ahead and reveals the New Balance 550 “Distressed Pack.” A new sneaker collection that has been specifically designed to look old, it’s the latest range to take part in the controversial pre-worn trend that’s been all the rage over the past couple of seasons.
Revealed in three distinct colourways including brown, red, and grey, each pair is crafted from a full off-white leather construction. Perforated panels make their way across the lateral and medial sidewalls, while crisp cotton laces tie everything together.
However, what really sets this collection apart is the meticulous attention to detail to achieve the authentic distressed look.
Each shoe is adorned with cracked panels and scuff marks that make their way from the collar all the way to the “N” logos.
This aged charmed can also be found on the rubber midsoles, which have been tastefully pre-weathered for an aesthetic that looks like it has been swiped straight from the archives.
The New Balance 550 “Distressed Pack” successfully marries the allure of vintage design with the quality and comfort of modern technology, making it an appealing choice for sneakerheads who appreciate the old and the new. Set to drop sometime in 2024, make sure you keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
